President Trump is killing me. Really.

By Dana Milbank Opinion writer September 15 at 7:46 PM

President Trump is killing me.

No, really. He’s killing me.

I went for my annual physical last month, and, for the first time in my 49 years, I had to report that I’ve not been feeling well: fatigue, headaches, poor sleep, even some occasional chest pain. My doctor checked my blood pressure, which had always been normal before: alarmingly high!

What could this mean? I don’t smoke, I’m not obese and I swim most days. The doctor hooked me up to electrodes and ran an EKG; it was normal. He suggested I try an ultra-low-sodium diet, and I spent a few weeks living on unsalted rice cakes, undressed salads and unappealing entrees; the pressure dropped a few points, but not enough. We could pretty much rule out sleep apnea and other things that can cause a spike in blood pressure. My doctor had me take a calcium CT scan of my heart, which filled me with enough radiation to melt s’mores but turned up nothing terrible.

At this point, I arrived at a self-diagnosis: I was suffering from Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder, or THUD. For almost five decades, I had been the picture of health, but eight months into Trump’s presidency, I was suddenly ailing. Trump is the only variable, I told my doctor. “He sure is variable,” my doc replied, endorsing the diagnosis.

Are readers supposed to feel bad about this?

Or some sort of cult worship.

That being said, they watched, cheered, applauded, cried all the while Barry was taking them down the ahem, “road” to perdition.

In the 1970’s, most men would have recoiled in horror. These days, it’s become their rallying cry.

Bizarre times we live in.

His demise would “decrease the surplus population”. That’s a good thing, right?

yet another benefit for having voted for Trump.

I’m convinced that the fevered mass hysteria spewed by Milbank and thousands like him, will raise the temperature of the earth by at least 5 degrees over the next several years.

Well gee Dana, we hope you are put out of your misery pretty soon. Hate to have you suffer like that...Maybe your wife (if you have one) can take you to the vet and have you put to sleep!

WAIT - there will be a diagnosis exactly to fit this creep’s complaints and it will be considered a disease and covered by insurance..

After that extensive a physical exam and tests, hope his insurance company denies his claim as he was able to diagnose his own problem and shouldn’t have wasted their time or money!

People get older. Medical problems creep up.

Who knew?

I suppose Trump is responsible for people aging now.

Good freakin grief, we have some unhinged people out there these days.

THUD indeed, the sound of this theory falling flat.

“Thank you metrosexual Dana milbank for providing my daily fix of Schadenfreude...”

He’s conflicted. Parents were hoping for a girl but gave him a girls name anyhow.That only worked in a Johnny Cash song. Schadenboner.
